Changes in the 0.9 version
--------------------------
- Refcounting and API revised for thread safety, see rules in
docs/design/part-MT-refcounting.txt
- Scheduling is now done by the elements, they start/stop
processing threads themselves. This removes the need for
a separate scheduler.
- State changes now happen from sink to source. This makes sure
that downstream elements are ready to process data when upstream
starts producing.
- EOS/ERROR/... does not change the state of elements anymore. This
means that when the application sets the state on an element, it
remains in this state.
- GMainLoop integration. Information on the state of the pipeline
Some docs updates Original commit message from CVS: * CHANGES-0.9: * docs/design/part-TODO.txt: * docs/design/part-events.txt: Some docs updates * gst/base/gstbasesink.c: (gst_base_sink_handle_object), (gst_base_sink_event), (gst_base_sink_do_sync), (gst_base_sink_activate_push), (gst_base_sink_activate_pull): * gst/base/gstbasesrc.c: (gst_base_src_send_discont), (gst_base_src_do_seek), (gst_base_src_event_handler), (gst_base_src_loop): * gst/base/gstbasetransform.c: (gst_base_transform_transform_caps), (gst_base_transform_configure_caps), (gst_base_transform_setcaps), (gst_base_transform_get_size), (gst_base_transform_buffer_alloc), (gst_base_transform_event), (gst_base_transform_handle_buffer), (gst_base_transform_set_passthrough), (gst_base_transform_is_passthrough): * gst/elements/gstfakesink.c: (gst_fake_sink_event): * gst/elements/gstfilesink.c: (gst_file_sink_event): Event updates. * gst/gstbuffer.h: Use faster casts. * gst/gstelement.c: (gst_element_seek): * gst/gstelement.h: Update gst_element_seek. * gst/gstevent.c: (gst_event_finalize), (_gst_event_copy), (gst_event_new), (gst_event_new_custom), (gst_event_get_structure), (gst_event_new_flush_start), (gst_event_new_flush_stop), (gst_event_new_eos), (gst_event_new_newsegment), (gst_event_parse_newsegment), (gst_event_new_tag), (gst_event_parse_tag), (gst_event_new_filler), (gst_event_new_qos), (gst_event_parse_qos), (gst_event_new_seek), (gst_event_parse_seek), (gst_event_new_navigation): * gst/gstevent.h: Make GstEvent use GstStructure.

is now received in the mainloop via the GstBus.
- Events move separate from the datastream, this allows for both
in and out of sync delivery of events.
- Generic _pull() replaced by _pull_region() so that random access
can be made faster.
- data passing happens from PAUSED, called the preroll phase. In this
state no data is rendered but it is queued in the sinks.
- negotiation simplified. Caps are now attached to buffers and travel
along with the datastream.
- GstBuffer is now subclassable.
- Ghostpads now look and feel like real pads.
- New Seeking/flushing policy.
- Addition of base classes and helper functions in the core to abstract
away the harder parts of plugin development.
